Transfer Station

Blanco Transfer Station

35 Rd 4460, Blanco, NM 87412

(505) 419-0624

Small transfer station out on 35 Rd 4460 that locals use when the landfill is too far to bother with. Farmers, contractors and people doing spring cleanups stop here to drop off loads that get compacted and trucked out elsewhere. Expect a no-frills, practical setup rather than a fancy facility.

Pull in to a single-lane entrance with a little booth where attendants check vehicles, then move forward to a scale and the tipping area. Trucks and trailers are common; compactors and transfer trailers are visible down the pad. The site is dusty and exposed - there’s not much shade - and traffic can back up on weekends or during seasonal cleanup times. Be prepared to wait in line behind pickup trucks and utility trailers before getting to the unloading spot.

Before You Go

  • Go early in the morning to avoid heat and long lines, especially on weekends or during spring cleanup.
  • Secure tarps and tie down loose items so nothing blows off on the way or while waiting in line on the dusty roads.
  • Bring gloves, sturdy shoes and water; the lot is open and there aren’t many places to sit or find shade.
